## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION VISIT, THE PRIMARY FORWARD RUDDER CABLE WAS FOUND FRAYED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT THROUGH.  NO STRUCTURE DAMAGE OR CHAFING INDICATION WAS FOUND AND THE ROUTING WAS CORRECT.  THE CABLE DAMAGE WAS IN AN AREA THAT WAS OPEN AND CLEAR OF ALL STRUCTURE AND COMPONENTS. THE CABLE HAS BEEN SENT TO MFG FOR EVALUATION.
